Is it possible to get the apocrypha in NIV, or ESV format? And where?

The NIV is too non-sacramental and too Calvinist to have the Deuterocanonical/Apocryphal Books.

The ESV, however, probably has editions with them included with the universally recognized OT (and NT, of course). I'm not sure if they have a separate ESV Deut/Apoc books unit however. I do know that the NRSV does and you can find it easily on amazon.com.

You can also get the KJV & RSV versions for e-Sword

I agree w/PV, the NIV was created by Evangelicals, so I doubt that you would find the Deutercanonicals interpreted by that school.

Try this one: http://www.e-sword.net

There is no (and likely never will be) an NIV translation of the Deuterocanons. Currently, there is no ESV translation either, but there is some talk of making it available.

Your best bet is probably the RSV.

I'm fairly certian that I heard that someone was considering translating the apocrypha for the NIV. It might have been for some other translation though.

Thanks Guys, i will probably go with the RSV, I cant say i am to fond of the KJV. Lotar, Fredrick the wise was certainly the ugliest fat man i have ever seen (in regards to your avatar. that is him, is it not?)

Yes, that's the elector

If you look, you'll also see Luther, Melanchthon, etc.

Praise be to Christ for Fredrick the Wise!

The 1977 update to the RSV contains the Eastern Orthodox deuterocanonicals as well as the Catholic deuterocanonicals. If you want III & IV Maccabees as well as II Esdras and the Prayer of Manasseh, be certain to get the '77 updated version. An example of the Prayer of Manasseh can be found in my signature.
